[Verse 1] I came up out the cold ground Boots loud on the loose dirt Mama said, "Keep your head up" Baba smiled, "Let the truth work" Black scarf, red thread, white moon Hands rough from the field rain Old songs in a new frame Same fire in the same vein Steel in the lungs, calm face Mud on the hem, still clean We don't chase your whole world We build ours in between [Pre-Chorus] Hear that roll in the distance Hear that step on the stone Old roots, new blood Now the whole road knows our tone [Chorus] Steppecore, steppecore We stomp and rise Steppecore, steppecore Under winter skies Steppecore, steppecore Old soul, new roar Steppecore, steppecore Say it once, say more [Verse 2] From the market to the rail yard From the yard to the packed room One hand on the old past One hand on the next boom Patterns on the jacket sleeve Gold on the braids, not fake We take that old ache And turn it into wake Every scar got a story Every drum got a name Every night got a pulse line Every face in the same frame [Pre-Chorus] Hear that roll in the distance Hear that step on the stone Old roots, new blood Now the whole road knows our tone [Chorus] Steppecore, steppecore We stomp and rise Steppecore, steppecore Under winter skies Steppecore, steppecore Old soul, new roar Steppecore, steppecore Say it once, say more [Bridge] Not a copy, not a costume It's a bloodline in motion Salt wind on the birch trees Deep heat in the ocean If they ask what we call it Tell them plain, tell them true It's the steppe in the heartbeat And the night coming through [Final Chorus] Steppecore, steppecore We stomp and rise Steppecore, steppecore Under winter skies Steppecore, steppecore Old soul, new roar Steppecore, steppecore Say it once, say more
